he's a horny guy!

Monday and Tuesday are our days off of work so we really like to take advantage of the time to enjoy everything that the Black Hills has to offer. We normally spend our time sightseeing on the bike as there are really no bad roads to ride around here. Monday we took a nice circular route from Custer to New Castle Wyoming and then up to Deadwood and back home. We really enjoy our time riding and the stress of everyday living just slips away with each passing mile.
Just outside of Hill City there are large signs warning passing motorist to beware of Big Horn Sheep in the area. We pass these signs all the time and have yet to ever see a sheep or even "signs" that a sheep has been in the vicinity. Monday as we rounded a curve we saw a motor home pulled off the roadway onto the shoulder. As we passed the stopped motorhome I spotted the reason he was stopped.

Big Horns!

We were able to watch the sheep for a while and felt very fortunate we were able to spend some time with them. :-)

Tuesday was a lazy day for us and we decided to leave the bike in it's garage for the day. After laying around most of the morning I decided I wanted to go fishing. Rudee packed us a sack lunch and we headed for the lake. I still had some trout dough bait left from my last trip and was hoping I could catch us some dinner. :-)
We got to the lake and found a nice shady spot. The fish were pretty active and in just a few minutes I had caught my first one, a small blue gill. I caught several more blue gills and finally a couple of small rainbow trout. None the fish were really big enough to keep so I played "catch and release" until the clouds rolled in and we started hearing thunder in the distance and decided we better high tail it home before we got wet.
Tuesday evening we met with some other full time RVers who hang out on the RV-Dreams Forum. Loretta and Bill are workcamping near Rapid City, Jim is right up the road from us at Custer Crazy Horse Campground while Ruth and Dale have been hanging around the area getting their South Dakota residency stuff completed. Here is a photo Ruth posted on the forum of our group, including the "photo bomb" guy in the back ground. :-)

I'm happy to report that Rudee is feeling much better. She has some large bruises from her most recent poking and prodding but at least her "spells" have decreased. I'll keep you posted.

About Me

We sold our house in 2009 and moved into our Montana 5th Wheel living and working in Central Indiana, saving for early retirement. That day finally came and in October of 2011 we dropped out of the rat race for a life on the road! In October of 2012 we traded the Montana and Freightliner for a Winnebago Journey motor home. Follow along as we travel the country living and working from our RV.
